I hope, however, that you do not expect much from me, for the travelling notes taken at the time are so scanty and vague, and my memory so extremely fallacious, that I fear I shall disappoint you with the meagreness and crudeness of my details. Late in the evening of August 29, 1817, I arrived at the ancient little border town of Selkirk, where I put up for the night. I had come down from Edinburgh, partly to visit Melrose Abbey and its vicinity, but chiefly to get sight of the \"mighty minstrel of the north.\" I had a letter of introduction to him from Thomas Campbell, the poet, and had reason to think, from the interest he had taken in some of my earlier scribblings, that a visit from me would not be deemed an intrusion.”\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Five Star Publishing, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148940984560,"sku":"2940148260257","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148260257_p0.jpg?v=1763699146","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148260257","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
